In today’s screen-filled world, it’s not always easy to pull kids away from tablets and TV. But there’s a creative, hands-on solution that’s been boosting brainpower for decades: LEGO® building.


And when you borrow LEGO® sets through Brick Borrow, you can keep the experience fresh, educational, and screen-free - all year round.


There's a whole world beyond the screen. Unlock their creativity.



Boosts Focus, Patience & Problem-Solving

LEGO® sets aren’t just toys - they’re brain workouts. From following instructions to troubleshooting tricky builds, kids sharpen critical thinking and resilience. Completing a build offers a sense of achievement that no screen can match.


"Collage of LEGO® Star Wars™ sets including C-3PO, R2-D2™, Darth Vader™ Helmet, Yoda™, Emperor’s Throne Room Diorama, Millennium Falcon™, Droideka™, AT-TE™ Walker, Chewbacca™, and Luke Skywalker’s X-Wing Fighter™. Celebrate Star Wars™ Day with epic builds available through Brick Borrow’s LEGO® subscription service."




Encourages Creative Thinking

Whether they follow the manual or build from imagination, LEGO® helps children think outside the box. Renting LEGO® through Brick Borrow means your kids can explore new themes each month - from castles and cities to robots and race cars - keeping creativity alive.

 



Develops Fine Motor Skills

Picking up small bricks, placing them precisely, and working through steps strengthens hand-eye coordination and motor skills -especially important in younger kids. It's a playful way to build real-world abilities.







Less Screen Time, More Play Time

LEGO® offers an offline escape. Instead of zoning out in front of a screen, your child is engaged in a quiet, meaningful activity. With Brick Borrow, there’s always something new arriving at the door to spark their interest - no app needed.

 



Why Borrow LEGO® Instead of Buying?


Brick Borrow makes it easy to rotate LEGO® sets regularly, so your kids are always challenged and entertained—without adding more clutter or cost.


Because building smarter minds shouldn’t mean buying more stuff.
